They were here on a patrol, personal problems could be saved for later in more private conversations. She had to act professional in front of the other two. There was no need to act like two kits having a squabble. Yet the tom irritated her in a way that made her stop caring about looking professional and she rolled her eyes anyway. "Right," she muttered.
She had to admit, she was honestly rather surprised that Shinefang was able to keep up. But then of course, he was determined, any cat could see that. He was already determined enough to avoid the life of an elder and instead spend the rest of his days as a medicine cat. It would take some serious dedication to do something like that at Shinefang's age, and Auroraflame would've even admired him for it if she didn't dislike him so much.
She kept her icy gaze focused on Shinefang as he stalked forward and lowered his head to do something. He then raised in his head and clutched in his jaws was a measly plant. It looked familiar to her but she couldn't name the plant. "Do you want one of us to carry it so that you can collect other plants?" Auroraflame asked, keeping her voice calm and collected. This would be a good opportunity to see just how much the medicine cat trusted her. If he would let her look after a small plant then there might be a teensy tiny bit of hope for a friendship between the two in the future. If he chose to let one of the warriors hold it, they were probably never going to get along. Auroraflame wanted to tell him that she wouldn't be offended if he chose to keep the plant or hand it to someone else, but she decided that that would probably seem a bit weird.

"Yup," Shinefang replied tersely, padding to the center of the the patrol and laying the herbs on the ground, glancing at the warriors and Auroraflame in turn as he waited to see who would pick it up before turning away knowing that
someone would. Whether it was Smogcloud, Kestralshade, or Auroraflame didn't matter just so long as he was able to keep scenting the area without the smell of herbs clouding his sense of smell. Parting his jaws again and having difficulty scenting anything other than frost in the air, the medicine cat grumbled and began to pad off in the direction of a more tightly clustered grove of trees. "Nothing else here," he shouted behind him as a signal that he wanted the patrol to move on with him. He slipped between among a cluster of leafless bushes and disappeared into the shadows of the denser woods.
